CARPET AND WEATHER STRIPICOMBINVED.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 350,396, dated October 5, 1886.

,Applioation filed n rnr, 1886.

.To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, PERRY E. REYNOLDS, a citizen of the United States, residing at King City, in the county of Gentry and State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in a Combined Carpet-Strip and eather Strip; and I do declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact descrip-.

tion ofthe invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 of the drawings is a representation of this invention, and is a top view, the

Fig. 2 is a verfrom end to end of the bottom plate.

G isthe door-frame, and D the door-sill upon which the bottom plate, A, rests.

E designates the cast-iron top plate, which is provided along its inneredge with a downward]y-projecting integral inclined flange, F. In its upper face the top plate, E, is provided with a longitudinal groove 01' gutter, G, having slots H I J in its bottom, to permit the water to pass through onto the bottom plate, A, by which it is carried to the outside of the door upon the door-silt, The bottom plate, A, is provided with four ribs, K K K K, on its upper face, one rib being located at each end, and the two others being located intermade of metal.

SerialNo. 200,339. (No model.)

E, is secured in place by screws P, driven down'through the ribs of the bottom plate "and through the bottom plate into the door-sill itself. The wooden end pieces, L L, may be cut and reduced to permit the weather-strip to be fitted to doors of different widths.

Q designates an iron slat, which is used upon the weather-strip in winter time along the outer facepf the door,to prevent snow and windfrom entering beneath the door when, closed. The wooden end pieces enable the weatherfstrip to be fitted to-any door without marring the door-jambs. The incline bottom plate is secured to the under faces of the ribs K K K K by screws or otherwise, and the rear or inner edge of said bottom plate is turned up to flange B, which prevents the water from running off at said flanged edge. The end blocks are notched in order that they may. fit the door frame, and are made of wood in order that they may be cut down if necessary, to fit the door-frame, should said blocks when purchased be of improper size. This could not be done were said end blacks The bottom plate is secured to the end ribs and intermediate ribs to give it the required incline that will cause the water to run off quickly.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, lS-- 1. The combination, with the door-frame and door, of the shouldered end pieces, the transversely grooved inclined intermediate ribs, the bottom plate provided with the upturned flange along its inner edge and secured. to the lower faces of the inclined ribs,and the 0 top plate provided with the front incline, and the rear incline and the longitudinal gutter lo cated between said inclines and provided with slots in its bottom, substantially as specified.

2. The combination, with the door-frame, 5 door, shouldered end pieces, inclined ribs, and the bottom plate and top plate, of the iron slat secured t"o the end pieces in front of the lower edge of the door, substantially as specified.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature I00 in presence of two witnesses.

PERRY E. REYNOLDS.
